Abstract
We have examined the molecular basis for the selective incorporation of the adhesion molecule ICAM-1 within human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). The process of ICAM-1 incorporation was investigated by using different ICAM-1 constructs in combination with virus capture and immunoprecipitation studies, Western blot and confocal microscopy analyses, and infectivity assays. Experiments conducted with viruses bearing a truncated version of ICAM-1 revealed that the cytoplasmic domain of ICAM-1 governs insertion of this adhesion molecule into HIV-1. Further experiments suggested that there is an association between ICAM-1 and the virus-encoded Pr55Gag polyprotein. This study represents the first demonstration that structural Gag polyproteins play a key role in the uptake of a host-derived cell surface by the virus entity. Taken together, our results indicate that interactions between viral and cellular proteins are responsible for the selective uptake of host ICAM-1 by HIV-1. This observation describes a new strategy by which HIV-1 can modulate its replicative cycle, considering that insertion of ICAM-1 within nascent virions has been shown to increase virus infectivity.Keywords
